The bands
Sarva was not impressed with N's attempt to apply tikka
He really messed it up
Band tied
The method to pacification and reminder of duties: sweets and the wiggles
N's look says it all. Don't think Barbie cuts it this year

Raksha bandhan 2011
Raksha bandan is a regular festival where sisters give their brothers a small band as a reminder to protect against evil. In modern days, the brothers return with gifts, cash, jewellery or just a barbie watch from Big W.

We have walking
Background: I have a form of muscular dystrophy which is of unknown origin. As a result, my milestones as a baby were slow including lifting my head, standing up, learning to walk. Before marriage, I went and saw the Genetic Counselling Service at the Royal Children, with the aim that there would be some news on my type of dystrophy. Essentially there was no information on inheritance - autosomal, x-linked, recessive, dominant. The thought was it was "probably" x-linked recessive, meaning male offspring inherit from their mom's. But with a big probably.
Fast-forward through to child #1. Walking, running and out the door at about 12 months. Being a girl child, it was less concerning as most likely she couldn't get it. However, back of my mind upon hearing #2 would be a boy, was the concern of inheritance, even though the chances were so low.
Sarva's milestones were fairly normal in retrospect. Lifting head on time, smacking sister down on time, biting Deepti whilst breastfeeding on time. His return from India as a small raging headbutting bull, who could stand at nine months further pacified those thoughts. The steps were there - one two small baby steps for the best part of July, so walking most likely commenced at 11 months. Second child syndrome.
Glad to report, on 11 August, he took those steps and hasn't stopped running. Or slapping down his sister.
And it is true. I sort of missed the first steps because I was looking at the fridge catalogue. 280L just aint big enough for the 9L of milk we need to buy each week.
